Escaping

Head of the Wailing Ones!

Both the Vampire and the Sickly One were instantly caught.

The mental attack from the Tier 2 Marvel wasn't enough to threaten a Cocoon Breaking Stage expert, but it could still affect the two for a short while.

The Vampire and the Sickly One both stumbled, their eyes showing a hint of daze.

But these two villains were considered strong even among Evolvers of the same stage. As everyone knows, the more twisted a person is, the stronger their mental fortitude. The two quickly shook off the effects of the mental attack, and faintly, they heard a shout.

"Someone's escaping!"

They were very familiar with this voice; it was Su Ze's.

"Damn it, I'm going to tear your skin off inch by inch and make a jigsaw puzzle out of it!"

The two were filled with extreme hatred for Su Ze at that moment, wishing they could devour him alive.

But when they looked up, they only saw Su Ze's speed surge instantly as he shot out like lightning. Before leaving, he casually tossed a small glass bottle.

The glass bottle hit the metal floor and shattered, releasing a cloud of yellow gas.

This was the compressed poison gas Su Ze had found on Zhao Lingxiao's corpse.

Though this sounds complicated, it all happened in an instant. By the time Su Ze shouted about the escape and rushed out of the containment area, the on-duty Guard Captain finally reacted. His face changed, and he hurriedly slammed the large door shut with all his might.

The Vampire and the Sickly One watched as the half-open door rapidly closed, the moonlight filtering in from outside being gradually blocked, just as their hope of escaping was being extinguished. Their eyes widened in fury, and they charged towards the door like madmen, disregarding everything.

At that moment, both of them unleashed a speed they had never experienced before.

There was still hope!

Flames flickered in their eyes, like drowning people desperately grasping for the last straw.

But just as they entered the range of the yellow gas, their complexions turned red, their breathing became rapid, and they shriveled up instantly like deflated balloons, falling powerlessly to the ground.

Their skin turned a strange purplish-blue, and beneath their skin, blood vessels writhed like countless earthworms, a terrifying sight.

Even so, their gazes remained fixed on the slowly closing door ahead.

Only when the last sliver of moonlight was obscured by the thick metal door did the flames of hope in the eyes of the Vampire and the Sickly One finally extinguish, along with their last breaths.

The Guard Captain finally closed the door completely and let out a sigh of relief. Through the glass, he could see yellow smoke filling the area behind the door, making it impossible to see what had happened to the two escaping prisoners.

The door's seal was top-notch, so he wasn't worried about the unknown yellow gas leaking out.

Suddenly, he remembered something and turned back to look for the person from the Zhao Family who had come to visit.

He knew that the escape of these two prisoners was definitely related to someone from the Zhao Family.

But by this time, Su Ze had already run far away. After rushing out of the containment area, he headed straight for the main gate of Pebble Prison. He knew that with such a commotion, the guards of Pebble Prison would never let him leave.

At the same time, he guessed that the Zhao Family wouldn't trust Zhao Lingxiao to come alone and would surely have someone waiting for him.

He had to use the Zhao Family's power to escape.

Even when planning his escape, Su Ze had already considered what would happen after he got out of prison.

He was different from the Vampire and the Sickly One. For him, escaping wasn't just about getting out of Pebble Prison; it was about escaping his current predicament and being able to survive in this world normally.

Right now, both his identity as Zhao Lingxiao and his identity as a clone were illegal and couldn't be revealed.

Without a legal identity or powerful strength, he would be stuck in this world. Even if he escaped Pebble Prison, it would only be like escaping a small prison for a larger one.

Su Ze knew very well that the only one who could help him in this matter was the Zhao Family, so he had to kill Zhao Lingxiao and take his place!

At this moment, seeing Su Ze about to run out of the prison gate, the Guard Captain decisively pursued him.

A Cocoon Breaking Stage expert was many times faster than Su Ze, and he caught up in the blink of an eye.

Just as Su Ze was about to be caught by the Guard Captain, the Guard Captain suddenly stopped and looked towards the outside of the prison gate. There, standing at some unknown time, was a towering figure.

"Butterfly Transformation Stage!"

A Butterfly Transformation Stage lifeform that had evolved three times. Just standing there, he made the Guard Captain feel immense pressure.

"Step down." The towering man said slowly.

The Guard Captain's face showed unwillingness, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He silently retreated a few steps, watching helplessly as the other man took Su Ze away.

"If only the Warden were here, I wouldn't have to fear him!" the Guard Captain gritted his teeth.

Normally, the Warden of Pebble Prison lived in the administrative area and only went home on holidays. However, last night, he had accepted Zhao Yuanyi's invitation to a banquet not far from his home, so he went home on his way back after the banquet.

Thinking back now, all of this had been arranged by Zhao Yuanyi.

"Uncle Tie." Su Ze, mimicking Zhao Lingxiao's tone, addressed the towering man before him, subtly removing his torn mask.

The man's name was Zhang Fantie, a Butterfly Transformation Stage expert and currently the strongest expert in the Zhao Family.

In his youth, Zhang Fantie was exceptionally talented but came from a poor family. He was noticed by Zhao Yuanyi, who brought him into the Zhao Family as a security guard, providing him with training and support.

Zhang Fantie also lived up to expectations, completing his third evolution before the age of forty. He was grateful to Zhao Yuanyi and remained loyal.

Zhang Fantie held a very high position in the Zhao Family; even Zhao Lingxiao had to call him "Uncle Tie."

"Something went wrong?" Zhang Fantie asked expressionlessly.

Su Ze nodded and said, "There was a bit of an accident, but thankfully we were well-prepared. I still managed to kill that imposter."

"You weren't injured?"

"No."

Zhang Fantie nodded slightly and led Su Ze to the side of the road, where a low-key black sedan was parked.

"Get in, the Minister is still waiting for us."

Su Ze got into the back seat, and Zhang Fantie took the driver's seat, starting the car and driving away from the entrance of Pebble Prison.

It was around two in the morning, and Pebble Prison was located in the suburbs. There wasn't a soul in sight on the road, with only their car driving on the wide asphalt.

Zhang Fantie was a skilled driver, and the car moved quickly and steadily. Su Ze looked out the window at the gradually disappearing Pebble Prison, feeling a sense of relief.

This prison break had gone quite smoothly, at least the outcome was as he had wished.

Just as he had told Zhao Lingxiao before, he believed that those who were innocent deserved salvation, and those who were guilty deserved punishment.

And now, three guilty individuals had died in that iron coffin, while he, an innocent person, had successfully escaped.

From the very beginning, Su Ze had no intention of letting the Vampire and the Sickly One out.

Although Su Ze didn't consider himself a noble person, he was unwilling to let two perverts loose to wreak havoc on the world unless absolutely necessary.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the compressed poison gas brought by Zhao Lingxiao, while I might have been able to keep the Vampire and the Sickly One contained, I definitely wouldn't have been able to kill them... Su Ze recalled the yellow gas with a shiver of fear. If Zhao Lingxiao had acted without restraint and used the yellow gas against him from the start, he would have had no chance of survival.

When Su Ze first discovered the yellow compressed poison gas in the glass bottle, he recognized it. It was likely a biological toxin extracted from a Tier 3 Exotic Beast, as the yellow color corresponded to the color of the Tier 3 Evolution Light.

Tier 3 Exotic Beasts were equivalent to human Evolvers in the Butterfly Transformation Stage after three evolutions. Their toxins could pose a fatal threat to life forms in the Cocoon Breaking Stage.

Huh?

Su Ze's gaze happened to fall upon a black handbag placed on the seat next to him.

Zhao Lingxiao's bag!
